Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 254: The Catastrophe of World-Creation

Tens of thousands of years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Chuan, Pangu, and the other Chaos Demon Gods continuously expanded the Chaos Void. With the combined efforts of 120,000 Chaos Demon Gods, the void grew larger and vaster, its boundaries stretching beyond comprehension.

Gradually, the clear Qi ascended while the turbid Qi descended, giving birth to the boundless laws of heaven and earth. The fundamental forces of creation—the elements—began to take shape, swirling throughout this nascent realm.

It was as if, at this very moment, the heavens and the earth had been born.

The primordial powers of earth, wind, water, and fire permeated the world, shaping its form and essence.

No one could truly fathom the size of this new world that Gu Chuan and the others had forged. It was vast beyond measure, its limits unknowable even to the Divine Sense of the Chaos Demon Gods.

"Is this truly the beginning of the world?"

Gu Chuan's eyes gleamed with profound insight. For tens of thousands of years, he had cleaved through countless laws of Chaos, meticulously separating the forces of existence, much like the legendary Paoding dismembering an ox—his blade moving effortlessly between sinew and bone, carving through the very fabric of reality itself.

Through this process, he attained great enlightenment. The infinite truths of the Dao surged into his consciousness, filling the depths of his mind with boundless revelations. His power ascended exponentially.

At that moment, his heart trembled, resonating with the pulse of creation itself. The world they had forged had reached a critical threshold—one that even the Five Elements Pillar could barely support. Any further expansion would invite catastrophe. The weight of heaven and earth would grow unbearable, and the collapse that followed would be beyond reckoning.

Too much of anything, even greatness, could lead to ruin. A world too vast would crumble under its own weight. Balance must be maintained.

"Cease the expansion of the Chaos Void. This realm is vast enough. Now, we must stabilize it."

Gu Chuan's voice, infused with the authority of the Great Dao, reverberated throughout the Chaos Void, reaching every corner of this embryonic world. His decree resonated like a cosmic melody, causing the fabric of Chaos itself to tremble in response.

Upon hearing his command, many Chaos Demon Gods instinctively halted. They had labored for eons, exhausting even their immense power. The burden of holding the heavens apart from the earth weighed upon them, and if they faltered, the nascent world would collapse into primordial ruin.

But then—

Gu Chuan's expression darkened. His Divine Sense detected numerous Chaos Demon Gods who continued their reckless expansion, heedless of his command.

"Stop! This world is already at its limit. Any further growth will bring disaster. Desist at once!"

His voice resounded once more, yet those who defied him remained unmoved. Instead, they intensified their efforts, frantically tearing open the Chaos Void, forcing the world to expand at an uncontrollable rate.

The pressure between heaven and earth surged, becoming unbearably immense. Even Gu Chuan, with all his might, felt the crushing weight of this imbalance.

Danger loomed.

If the world collapsed under its own strain, the resulting force would obliterate even the mightiest of Chaos Demon Gods. The legendary Pangu himself had perished under the weight of World-Creation, despite wielding the Chaos World-Creation Axe and the Heaven-Opening Chisel. Those divine artifacts, unable to withstand the unimaginable pressure, had shattered into fragments and scattered across the cosmos.

Now, this world was already many times larger than the Prehistoric World of his previous life. The strain it imposed upon him and the other Demon Gods was beyond comprehension.

A sudden outcry broke the tension.

"Didn't you hear the Chaos City Lord's command?! Stop at once! Are you deaf? Do you not understand the consequences of excess?!"

But before the words could fully settle—

A piercing sound sliced through the void.

A crimson spear, dripping with malevolence, struck without warning.

The protesting Chaos Demon God gasped as the weapon impaled his chest, pinning him to the void itself. His eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

"Y-You...!"

He never anticipated such betrayal. In their unity, they had created a world together, guided by the unwavering authority of the Chaos City Lord. Such an attack was unimaginable.

Yet, in a single moment of carelessness, he had been struck down. The red spear pulsed ominously, exuding a terrifying devouring force. In the span of a single breath, it consumed his soul, erasing his existence from the annals of Chaos.

The Chaos Demon God who wielded the crimson spear trembled as his power surged. His aura grew exponentially, his strength multiplying several times over in an instant.

Shock and horror swept through the ranks of the Chaos Demon Gods.

"Who dares to betray their kin?!"

Gu Chuan's gaze turned frigid, his all-knowing eye locking onto the traitor. Under his scrutiny, the veil of mystery unraveled.

Deep within the soul of the treacherous Demon God, he saw it—a black fragment inscribed with sinister runes, emanating an unfathomable evil. This fragment controlled him, warping his will and driving him to madness.

"Chaos City Lord, do you think you alone can rule over Chaos?"

The traitorous Demon God sneered, his eyes burning with insatiable greed. "You seek to stand above all, but I, too, shall reign supreme! As long as I slay these weaklings, I shall claim their power, dominate Chaos, and achieve eternal immortality!"

His voice grew ever more frenzied, his killing intent surging like a tide. "And today, Gu Chuan, I shall kill you. I shall tear you down from your lofty throne!"

A chorus of voices echoed in the void.

"Now is the perfect moment! The Chaos City Lord is burdened with the weight of the heavens—he cannot act freely. If we strike now, he will fall!"

"For too long, Gu Chuan has hoarded the treasures of Chaos! Why should he alone reign supreme? I refuse to accept it!"

"Kill him! Let him become nothing more than a relic of history!"

"Jie Jie Jie... Bury the legend! Let Chaos descend into an age of slaughter!"

In that instant, tens of thousands of Chaos Demon Gods roared in unison.

Chaos erupted.

The once-united pantheon of creators turned upon one another. In a frenzied uprising, countless Demon Gods unleashed their full might upon their brethren, turning the very act of creation into an apocalyptic battlefield.
